Genesis

Chapter 42

After sleeping through the morning, I woke up, my mouth dry, and head absolutely pounding with a migraine, because of the severe dehydration I was going through.

How'd that happen, you ask? Some asshole decided to fuck me until I was bone dry.

I rolled over and looked at my clock. 1:27 pm, it read as I groaned, and sat up in bed. My head was ringing like a bell at this point. I thought after sex you were supposed to feel good?

Before I could curse his name, David walked in with a glass of water, and small bag with ground up herbs in it. He shot me a smile soft and warm, as apple pie, before sitting next to me "Hi love. I figured yah'd be feeling a bit rough, so I got yah something to fix that."

I just groaned as I looked at him, my face undoubtedly scrunched up as he poured the contents of the bag into the water. He stirred the mix until the water was an earthy green, and passed it to me "A mix from an amaxhwele, I know."

I grabbed the glass, and looked at him, an eyebrow raised in curiosity, as he just expected me to know what that was "Oh! Yeah, she's a traditional healer from South Africa. Xhosa." He said with a nonchalant smile.

I stared at him, my expression blank, before I just said fuck it, and downed the glass. Can't lie, it kinda sucked. Bitter as hell, but fuck it. I knocked it back, and set the glass down on the nightstand before David took his thumb, placed it between my eyebrows, and rubbed firmly, but gently, up and down.

He didn't say anything, just rubbed for about a minute straight, as I could feel the relief flowing throughout my entire body. All the tension in my body melted away, and feelings of euphoria washed over me, with a smile overtaking my face.

I let out a deep sigh of relief, and David rubbed my head, before I said "That's what the morning after sex is supposed to feel like, you jerk." We shared a laugh, before he stood up, and responded "Yah'd feel a lot better if yah drank more water. Come on, let's go eat."

He wasn't wrong. I definitely need more water in my life. I followed David, and the man prepared a beautiful afternoon breakfast for us. Is this brunch? Fancy bitch, hell yeah.

After we ate I got ready for the day, and we headed to the warehouse together.The warehouse had it's usual crowd of soldiers and friends, with some just taking it easy, as others were spending time training away.

The Meek were sitting at a table, just hanging around, as we joined them, all exchanging greetings with each other "So as y'all know I sent Ana out last night to go find our... guy?.... thing? I don't know. Anyways, I honestly figured she'd be back by now." David said as he took a seat. "So I was gonna head out there just to check in, see what she's got going on. If anybody wants to come, it's a three hour drive, so I'm gonna head out soon"

"Eh, too many cooks spoil the dish" Rebel said with a shrug "It's lo mein night, too!" Roland said with a giddy smile.

"We'll go" Lilith called out as she wrapped her arm around Wrecks neck, pulling him to her "Why the hell are you volunteering me. I wanted to go to sleep early tonight!" He fought back "Too bad!" Lilith barked at him. He gave up, his hopes of escaping deflated, as he accepted his fate

"I'll be spending time with Will, this evening. He got a look art my sword, and would like to study it and it's history, so I told him I'd be by soon." Ryu spoke up.

"Alright, so Lilith, Wreck, and Carly. You're with me." After that, the rest went their separate ways, and we loaded up in a truck, heading out. The ride there was spent passing the time with idle chatter. It was honestly pretty peaceful. As we drove by trees, and through the makeshift roads, I took in the beauty of the sun shining down through, and leaves falling, floating through the sky.
